Should I go 3/2 or 4/2 rental in North San Antonio

[Jack Walker]

I’m considering purchasing a rental property in Northern San Antonio.  

The options are:  

- Three bed, two bath  

- Four bed, two bath  

The property is near a nice high school.  

- Three bed, two bath rents: $2000/month  

- Four bed, two bath rents: $2400/month  (according to rentometer)

I’m wondering if renting out a four bed, two bath is more challenging than a three bed, two bath in San Antonio.  

Anyone with experience in this area, please recommend.  

The price difference is small, so I’m debating whether the extra square footage and rent justify the additional effort or if sticking with a three bed, two bath is simpler. Both essentially meet the 1% rule
